Summer 2013 To-Do List

Now that grading is done, it’s time to get my summer to-do list down. I need to be especially dicsiplined this summer because baby #2 is arriving in August [Seeger Reyes Wolff born 8/14 :-)] and there will be no time to get things done for a while after that. I’ll cross them off and add the dates of completion when and if they are completed. I’ve broken them into three categories: Personal, Scholarly, and Creative:
